Volume 1 Mountain Village 89: The History Book of the Planet
There should be no life on the stars.
In Fang Nuo's superficial cosmology, they are all celestial bodies composed of red-hot gases that emit light and heat on their own, burning all the time, and are not suitable for the survival of beasts or humans like them.
In this book "Different Time and Space: The Other Era", it is mentioned that there are several strong people in the universe who are recognized by "different time and space", and every time they come to a certain planet in this galaxy, they will bring a catastrophe to the world.
In some cases, heavy snowfall for many years causes the world to be "frozen", and all living beings will fall asleep in the cold and eventually lose their lives.
Some fires that last for years are fueled by the planet itself, and it will burn everything in its reach, nature, life, and civilization...... Everything will cease to exist, leaving only a barren charred land.
Others will bring strife, war, and it is rumored that the "strong man" can perform "miracles" that affect the hearts of others and stimulate conflicts between people...... Naturally, his power can also affect beings outside of humans.
It's all the guy who wrote these words making excuses for the "wonders" that are happening in the world, Fang Nuo commented in his heart.
They don't have the ability to find out the truth of all kinds of events, so they compile these "strong men" who can be the cause of all strange things, and put all the blame on these fictitious existences.
Fang Nuo expressed disdain for the stories made up by humans, and the next moment, questions such as "how do the family elders view the other time and space" and "how do the family elders view the wonders and disasters that occur on our planet" were sketched in his mind.
Humans use false legends to explain them, and their family should have a more plausible statement, right?
It may be even more absurd than these rumors recorded in the book, and his heart immediately sank.
After all, the word "different time and space" will not even be mentioned in the family, and what happened outside of Huangxian Ridge can be answered perfunctorily by the elders in one sentence:
"What's the matter with us?"
In contrast, these myths and legends handed down by human beings are more romantic!
Putting away his thoughts about "Alternate Time and Space", Fang Nuo focused his attention on the next page about the "Other Era".
I saw that the first sentence on the current page reads: "Two thousand five hundred and seven years ago, mankind entered the 'Age of the Other Side'. ”
This is something he has known for a long time.
And in the era before the arrival of that node, human beings called it "historical fog", and even the chronology was reluctant to use it.
As for why he named it "the other side", the book also provides several reference answers, at least more reliable than his own thinking.
There is a saying that their planet is called "the other star" in human civilization.
There are also several bases listed below, such as the discoveries of human archaeology in the past, and the corresponding pictures.
Since the ruler of a certain human kingdom forbade his subjects to delve into history from a certain era, there is relatively little illustration and textual information about the "other era" in the book.
People's minds are imprisoned, and under the deliberate manipulation of those in power, they become only aware of the "other era" they live in, rather than the deeper things such as the reasons for the birth of this era.
"However, I want to know more things."
The little beast, which had just stepped out of a similar situation, thought eagerly.
In the past, he was trapped in the "care" of his clansmen, and only after leaving Huangxian Ridge did he have the opportunity to understand the knowledge that could not be explored in the clan, and re-understand the land he lived in from the mouths of other creatures.
Although, whether the ideas of the strange monsters are worth listening to or not, the decision is up to him.
In the midst of the surging thoughts, Fang Nuo suddenly realized that the explanation of the title of the book was not over, and the content of the next page was still relevant.
"Are you done with the first two pages of 'Alternate Time and Space' and 'The Other Era'?" He was a little puzzled, "There are no advanced descriptions, they are all folk sayings, but they are not without reference value at all." ”
Is there anything else that can't be written in so much space on the previous page?
With curiosity, he turned the book in front of him to a new page.
"History books?"
Then, with a confused tone, he pronounced the word that jumped into his field of vision for the first time.
"The History Book of the Planet, Material: World Tree...... Isn't the World Tree the Eternal Tree in the middle of the forest? ”
As mentioned on this page, the book "Alternate Space: The Other Era" is actually an unfinished "history book of the planets", which is used to record every important event that happened on this land.
It is made from the "Eternal Trace Tree", which is called the "World Tree".
In the past, a group of capable humans cut down the "World Tree" that originally ran through the heavens and the earth, obtained the most precious wood in the world, and then used it to make paper and bind it into a "Book of Miracles" that automatically added content.
Later, the immortal tree grew new branches and leaves, and many tall, stout redwoods grew around it, guarding the surviving "emperor of the tree" from being targeted by evil people.
Then, while drawing a new map of the world, another group of humans drew a stroke of the pen and the encirclement of the Eternal Tree and the redwoods surrounding it into the confines of the Dark Forest, as well as the vegetation on another hill.
As a result, the Eternal Tree became the center of the "New Dark Forest" to this day.
The earliest capable people made this "history book" to record the history of the planet, but they did not expect that future generations would set up a special ban and make their work "unfinished".
When this book introduces itself, just like the previous introduction of "Alternate Time and Space", it does not skimp on words, and the relevant content fills a whole page of the front and back, and even the next page is filled with legends related to it.
It also did not forget to tell Fang Nuo how his former "holder", the Noka, who is now on his journey, obtained his own.
If you go back in the page, there are many more things it has experienced with its former owners.
"It's too ......"
Fang Nuo felt a sentence stuck in his throat, and wanted to express it, but he couldn't remember the most crucial adjective in the words.
In the earliest written records of the "holder", it was once in the possession of a nobleman of the Kingdom of Aderiel.
Going back in time, there is only a description of "it was sealed in a certain secret realm, and countless adventurers passed by but were unable to take it ......".
As Fang Nuo had thought, the book had been looted from its owner's collection room during the war 11 years earlier, and it was left in the kingdom's underground market, where it changed hands several times before being taken by a soldier.
The soldier later left the battlefield and moved to the vicinity of the Xuancai Mountains, where he chased a beast into the mountains, where he died in the claws of the beast.
Before suffering this bad luck, he seemed to have predicted his end, so he gave this "Book of Miracles" to the brothers and sisters who accompanied him on his last journey.
And after the names and related matters of the two "holders" of Noka and Witch Yilan, the words "orcs who think they are Yellow Immortals" appear in the newly presented paragraphs.
"I think it's ......" Fang Nuo was already surprised by this description.
After going through so many things and gaining so much knowledge, if he still thought that he was just an ordinary Yellow Immortal, then he would be too sorry for the creatures and deceased he had met in the past few days.
"So, you're showing what was omitted!"
He bared his claws and rubbed the pages with his backhand, as if threatening the supposedly unintelligent book.
But then he was disappointed, and at the same time, he was slightly horrified to find that after associating the name "Fang Nuo", the content of the new page was actually the sentence "Heaven cannot be revealed".
"I have this ...... Well...... Isn't it remarkable? "The beast was incredulous about it.
"Isn't there any way to understand the so-called 'Heavenly Machine'?" He is not only asking about the "history books" in front of him, but also asking himself.
I'm afraid that the only way to do this is for the current rulers of humanity to lift the ban and gather all the strength of humanity to dispel the "fog of history".
This is something that the mastermind of the war failed to do 11 years ago.
Moreover, judging from what he dreamed about not long ago, the mastermind's spirit finally seemed to have become abnormal, and he even claimed to have "amnesia".
"Of course." Just as he was busy asking and answering himself, pouring cold water on himself, an extremely faint and easily ignored voice sounded from the bridge without warning.
"The reason for not being able to know the 'Heavenly Machine' will always be attributed to my own lack of ability." The other party said this, his voice so soft that Fang Nuo couldn't help but doubt his ears, and worried about whether he hadn't slept well last night and hallucinated.
However, a sentence is followed by a modal word "la" as a mouth fetish...... Among the demon beasts or humans he knows, there should be no such existence.
By reputation, he didn't see any suspicious creatures on the bridge he had built.
Only the forest greenstone that he cherished, lying on the bridge, quietly reflecting the light around him.
"Huh?"
Fang Nuo subconsciously touched his chest.
I could still feel the feeling of falling things on my chest, and the forest greenstone was now hanging around my neck, hidden in the hair on my chest.
"As long as you go beyond your own limits and improve your personality, you can always break through the prohibitions left by your predecessors...... That's it! ”
The snow-white beast had already reached the top of the suddenly extra "forest greenstone", and used its own shadow to cover "it" that was suspected of being the source of the sound.
"Huh? Hey? The big guy won't hear it, will it? The subtle voice sounded again, and there was a bit of panic in the words, "This is terrible......
"Whew-" Fang Nuo blew at the Forest Greenstone.
"La......"
The next moment, the thing was blown away.
"Hey, you!" Afraid that this unknown object would fall off the bridge and smash the pastry that the two birds had worked hard to make all night, Fang Nuo hurriedly threw out the silver-blue string and provided the other party with a place to stay.
Then, eight thin and long "legs" suddenly grew from under the "forest greenstone", and at the same time "sticked" to the string, and then let themselves hang on the rope and float in the wind.
